I've been going to Asuka for many many years now. The service has always been terrible. I've argued with the owner before about the amount of yum yum sauce served when dinning in vs what they charge for yum yum sauce in a Togo order. Way back in 2012 at closing, friends and I were still sitting around waiting on our checks and we saw a rat run by and not even that has kept me from coming back every time I am in town. Seriously, lower your standards on the quality of the service, but know you are going to eat a very tasty meal even if they screw up what you ordered the first time. All this said, I still give them 5 stars because the food is delicious and I'd be in tears if they ever shut down. read more

Ordered 11 sushi rolls to go and was told 25 minutes. Arrived and was told they thought it was only 1 even though they gave me my total over $100 over the phone. Been waiting for over an hour and still haven't completed the order. read more

The food was good but the hibachi cook was not very interactive. We have gone to hibachi for and is use to them doing a show. It was very minimal effort. read more

They gave me the wrong roll twice after confirming that it was the correct roll. I had explained that it is not correct, it is supposed to be fried crab and shrimp and it's pink raw fish of some sort that I cannot eat it at all. Not happy with service today. Does that look like fried shrimp and crab to you? No it looks like tuna. read more

Asuka - a plate of sushi and chopsticks - Japanese Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

We stopped in for dinner as we had never been here before and it is close to our home. This experience was a total disaster. The soup tasted like water with little to no flavor. Our steak was over cooked with no flavor. The rice was mushy with no flavor too. When we mentioned this to our waiter he said he would have to check with the manager to see what could be done. They did replace our meals but the replacements were no better. We paid the bill and left still hungry. Very disappointed to have spent close to $100 for horrible food. I do not understand how this place has any customers. We will not be back. read more

Not bad but if you're familiar with Japanese hibachi restaurants expect to be disappointed. It has at best a passing resemblance to what is basically a standard scripted experience at all Japanese hibachi restaurants. Instead of the cook preparing fried rice on the table with great showmanship, it arrived in a bowl from the kitchen. They do the sliced onion flaming volcano thing but that's about it as far as the entertainment portion. No flashy shrimp show, the tails having been removed prior. They're just cooked and served without fanfare, as were filet mignons and vegetables. No bean sprouts here either, which was fine with me as my grandson doesn't eat them and I'm not particularly in love with them myself, but it was surprising because I've never not gotten them elsewhere and I imagine those who actually like them might feel differently.. I must say everyone was nice and friendly, however, and the service was good. I only wish they didn't take so many shortcuts with the concept. read more

Been here 4 or 5 times in the last 5 years and it fails to disappoint. Last night the Mrs. wanted to go for her birthday dinner. Daughter had chicken, Mrs. has steak and chicken, I had lobster and scallops. The Chefs skills were great, the entertainment while our meal was being cook was top notch. I would recommend to anyone except... The lady across from us who had a seafood allergy........ read more

Horrible horrible food. We were shopping in the area and we decided to stop for takeout. Waited 40 minutes for dinner. Could not wait to eat when we got home, only to discover a disgusting mish mosh of chemical tasting "food". Threw out most of it even though I was starving. Rice and the dumplings were the only edible parts. Everything had an after-taste and I honestly don't even know if the "chicken" was actually real chicken. For shame to charge people's hard-earned money for such crap. Stay away! read more

We were part of a party of eight that dined at Asuka's today. We decided to dine there after church. I was a bit apprehensive since I read the reviews beforehand, but a friend said they liked it. So, we gave it a shot. We all sat at the hibachi table and our orders were taken quickly. My wife and I ordered the steak and shrimp and others with us ordered a variety of foods. We were served a typical Japanese light soup first and after that a nice salad. The soup and salad were very good. Next, our chef arrived and did his little display and cooked up our lunches. Well, my steak was tender and delicious, as well as my shrimp. As a matter of fact, everybody was quite pleased with their choice of food. I certainly have zero complaints. The food was good, the service was excellent, and I would not hesitate to return. I feel bad for others that were not pleased but it sure went well for our party. read more

Skip it. Their hibachi may be good, but their sushi isn't my favorite. Their service is wonderful though so I can't help but return.

I feel bad for the chef for being in the middle of this situation. The waiter messed up our order cuz our family member has a deathly shrimp allergy disease, and the waiter just didn't care nor tell the chef. Luckily when the food came out we spotted that the shrimp was mixed with the other meats. We tell chef and he apologized for it and said sorry as he was not told about the shrimp allergy. We called the waiter over only just for her to make a scene. After the dinner, which was amazing btw even though one family member only had rice, they still charged us for the meal and we also learned that waiters there don't even get tips. Like gurl, no wonder why these waiter don't care about us they don't have to make sure we're ok cuz there not getting tips. To summarize, we would not recommend this place for two reason, awful waiters and it's run by a very shady owner. read more

The staff was amazing and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend the Hibachi!

I ordered for the first time through a delivery service, speedy fast delivery. Then it went down hill. I started with a crab and avocado roll. I wanted to keep it simple first time ordering. No soy sauce was give, which normally wouldn't be an issue but I just moved and have zero in my pantry. The salad was maybe all of 7 pieces of lettuce. And my teriyaki chicken was .... interesting. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't good. The rice was over cooked and needed flavor. Sad day. Sad sad day. read more

We did carry out here. This is average food. Not very impressive presentation, not very flavorful. Just average.

I love this place. Always consistent and yummy. The show is awesome and so is the ginger dressing on the salad is perfection.

Food was good and staff was friendly. Very pretty inside. Little pricey, but I'll be back.

I had an order from here delivered to me and I did not receive all of the items that I had paid for. I called and spoke to a manager regarding this issue and she hung up on me. I called back and spoke to a different person and explained the situation, and they offered to void it off of my check, which is fine, but does not justify why my order was not correct. If you are looking for quality food, customer service, and accuracy, look elsewhere. read more

So we normally eat at Asuka at least once a week whether it be in restaurant or take out. Service is always fast, and food has been great. It's a nice place to eat and close to home. We loved it! Until last night that is! We went to pick up our takeout order, which was done within 20 minutes. We arrived home, everything we ordered was in the bag including the extra sauce we just love so much. We dive into eating, which was great! And as we begin to get full, we proceed to gather the rest for leftovers tomorrow. As we went to dump the food from the takeout box into our tubberwear, we notice something sticking to the inside of the togo box. And what do we see, it was half of a bug! We immediately were sick to our stomachs. HOW ON EARTH COULD THIS GET IN THERE!! Right underneath all that food we just ate. No telling where the other half ended up. This is such a same, because it was one of our favorites. NEVER EVER AGAIN. read more

Asuka - Japanese Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

Really good food! Expensive, but good food. We were excited to find a place to get hibachi in Spring Hill. Sushi portions are huge and Hibachi portions are huge. read more

I have only tried their sushi and it's Always been good! Great family restaurant and nice to have one in Spring Hill. Worth checking out!

I don't understand the bad reviews. Sometimes there is a wait due to it being a Japanese steakhouse where the food is cooked right in front of you. They like to fill up the table which to me is understandable. I have been numerous times and it is our go to for special occasions. I am always with people I enjoy so the wait doesn't bother me. The food is fabulous and plentiful! The crab Rangoon are to die for with the special sauce! I love the salad with ginger dressing. I do miss the rainbow sherbet they used to give post meal. I recommend this restaurant highly. If u want fast food go to McDonald's. read more

Its unfortunate- this is the only hibachi place near me and we have been to this place numerous times... it just isn't very good. It's better if you eat in the restaurant, but if you order take out, it's pretty gross. Super disappointing. read more

Wonderful service. William was very funny. Had a lot of fun and food was great. Large portions. Maybe a tad spendy

I love Teppan Grills and I love Sushi... I don't LOVE Asuka, but it's good if you don't feel like driving to a better Teppan Grill in Franklin. I've been to their bar, had their sushi, dined with a huge group at a hibachi table, tried their happy hour and gone with just my husband... each visit was OK. Their wine/sake list isn't great, their sushi is really not great, their hibachi dinner soup is seriously dreadful and their "show" is generally dull (apart from one chef who was very entertaining). The quality of their hibachi food (soup being the exception) is average and if you have a coupon, their prices aren't too high. Overall, I'm not an Asuka fan... the service isn't great, the food is mediocre, it's on the high side without a coupon, but it is a relatively fun time with a group that doesn't want to drive outside of Spring Hill. I personally would rather drive to Shogun or Omikoshi in Cool Springs. read more

The owner is the problem here.... all of the servers were wonderful but she made my daughter ghettos bday absolutely horrible.... we requested a specific cook and she was determined for us to not have him.... unbelievable.... read more

Terrible terrible service!!! Literally took 40 mins to get our check...probably because it took them 4 times to get the check spilt up correctly. Had to request to get soup and salad plates cleaned up. Had to go find a waitress to get drink refills. Food was good. Chef was entertaining.... read more

We did not even know there was a Japanese steakhouse in Spring Hill and when we learned about it, we were a little skeptical. However, we were very pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. It is actually one of the better Japanese steakhouses we have ever been to. My husband got the fillet mignon and I got the scallops and we shared. The portions were amazing and we were both very full when we left. The chef was entertaining. We also got a to go sushi order for our daughter and she said it was excellent. I do you have three suggestions, which is why I did not give this restaurant five stars. The first one is that there was a third party delivery person at the hostess stand when we arrived and it took a good 15 minutes for him to do whatever he was doing so the hostess could ask about seating us. I certainly understand wanting to participate in these third-party delivery services but if a restaurant does that, I think they should have a separate person who takes care of that person and those orders, not the hostess who is seating people who are eating inside the restaurant. The second suggestion is that they put steak and scallops on the menu as an option. And the third suggestion is that they seat one or two fewer people at the tables. It was very, very crowded. Having said all of that, the food and service were excellent and therefore, I am giving it four stars. We will definitely be back. read more

They were out of some of the sauce, the food was bland, the entertainment was so so, they no longer give sorbet, the service was rude and inattentive despite us being polite. Poor experience for the money. read more

service was pathetic. chef came Out to take drink order. Impolite. No server after food prepared. Never checked in drinks. Had birthday in party (8 people). Never briught dessert. after Waiting 15 mins for server to check in drinks or bring check, finally had to get up and ask for check. Food was good. Service worst ever. Spent $300.00. not sure will go back. read more

Just finished eating! Food, service and atmosphere was phenomenal! The cook did such a great job. Not only did he cook wonderful, he also brought such good entertainment to our meal. We will definitely be visiting again. read more

My wife had a craving for Tempura so I ordered from Asuka. The Tempura and Spring Rolls where awful. On top of that, instead of duck sauce or hot mustard they gave us what tasted like Frenches Yellow mustard. And two apps + rice was $28 dollars. Insult to injury. we will NEVER go back. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. Have eaten here many times. Always was a good experience until now. Picked up some take out and had the hibachi chicken and shrimp. As I was eating I Found part of a cockroach in my food. Not sure where the other part of it is. Will absolutely never eat here again. This is a health hazard. read more

Asuka - Japanese Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

We went there on a monday night and they were a bit short staffed. overall the food was good and their service was a bit slow....however expected. read more

My test of a sushi place is octopus. Asuka had the best octopus I've had in Spring Hill. But that's like being the world's tallest midget, it's still not great. I got a bento box as well and the teriyaki shrimp was fine. You don't get miso with it though, you get whatever they call "chicken stock with really thin mushroom slices". The California roll didn't have cucumber in it, weird. The edamame was cooked correctly. My server was nice. The previous reviewer got it perfectly. It's okay, I'll probably be back, but I can't tell you why. read more

This is my second visit. The first was 5+ years ago where we enjoyed the hibachi show. The kids loved it, having seen similar shows at other places I was unimpressed. Fast forward to today; it was date night at Asuka. We choose not to sit at the grill and were seated in the bar area. This place has a nice atmosphere, but you will find many kids. The sushi and calamari were very good. Main courses were not as good (maybe just bad choices). Service is very good to excellent and the prices are reasonable enough I will certainly be back, but just for sushi and the calamari read more

Well the food is not terrible. However when I went to pay for my and my sister's meal the young lady came back and told me that the cards I provided did not work. Okay, they were Visa gift cards, so I took them back, logged into the account and saw that they were active and ready to go. Each gift card was for $25 the bill $52.52. The same young lady came back I gave her the gift cards again along with my credit card. My sister and I waited while all three of my cards traveled around the restaurant for 15 minutes. Finally a young man came with my cards and asked how I would like the bill split. I showed him that my gift cards were both for $25 and that the credit card would be for the $2.52 plus the tip. I asked to speak to the manager because of how long my cards were out of my sight along with how long it had been. After another 5 minutes he brought back my receipts to sign and saw that each card had been charged at $18.95, $16.95, and $11.95. I told him I needed to speak to the manager and he said it would be awhile because of how busy they were. I respectfully let him know that I needed to speak with the manager right then. When the manager came over I explained what had happened and asked her to fix the transaction. Hannah acted like they had not done anything wrong when I showed her the varying amounts on the receipts for the transaction and asked about my card being gone for so long. She said that she would void everything and re-run the transaction. Again no apology for my card being passed off or acknowledgment that the young man had ran the cards incorrectly. So I guess I will be turning off my card and canceling it. read more

We ordered sushi rolls--Rainbow Roll, Rock-n-Roll, Red Monkey Roll. plus a couple more. The food just wasn't very good and just didn't taste fresh. And this was at like 6pm on a Saturday night. We didn't even care enough to finish eating everything, which never happens. Rainbow Roll was okay, but seemed like half of it was white fish. Service was good. Atmosphere was fine, and the place had a good flow of activity. But because of the food it was a very disappointing experience. Probably wouldn't come back for the sushi. read more

I have been going to this place ever since they have opened and one thing for sure their food is always consistently good. Honestly we order to go most of the time so everyone reviewing here lately saying service sucks I can't really attest to that because it's been awhile since we have actually eaten there. Sushi we always get the fire crunch roll and it's always really good. They don't have super fancy top notch sushi but this is hibachi place, if your wanting just sushi go to Koi. We usually get chicken and steak. The yum yum sauce is really good and the chili paste is the bomb on the fried rice. Soup is good, salad is ok I wish they had more of a ginger based dressing. Huge portions we always have enough left for leftovers the next day! read more

(I'm updating this with this little sentence in hope it gets it off the filter. You should know this before you eat here) Asuka's has changed ownership recently, and it shows. Poorly, I'm afraid. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Spring Hill. Really good sushi, and a decent selection of actual Japanese food, when you're not ordering from the hibachi. I should say, the hibachi is pretty good. Not the best or most entertaining I've sat through, but still very tasty. Hibachi aside, the Sushi is really good. And they have a really good lunch special. That at least, hasn't changed. The special sushi rolls though, are much more hit and miss. I've had some really good ones, and really dull ones. The biggest change is the actual entrees (and maybe the hibachi. I haven't eaten it since the deterioration in food quality). My girlfriend, being as adventurous as she is, always orders the Chicken Teriyaki. The thing is, this staple dish of stereotypical asian cuisine has been completely different the last 3 times we've been there, each time being worse and worse, with less chicken and inferior taste. The last time it was nothing but chicken and a ton of mushrooms. The last time we were there, I ordered a Tonkatsu Don. It couldn't have turned out worse. I've had the donburi there before, and they used to be delicious! Colorful, with lots of vegetables, and a well cooked pork cutlet and omelette that made the whole thing juicy and tasty. The last time I ate there, it was just a bowl of white rice, with an overcooked pork cutlet on it, and a single, overcoooked egg on it. It was absolutely terrible. I mean, disgusting. I scared our poor waitress to death when I asked to speak to the manager. She said he wasn't there. We haven't bothered returning since. The lunch special sushi isn't worth supporting that trash. Go for sushi, or maybe hibachi, or don't go. read more

We used to go to Asuka once a week for hibachi and sushi. The last few times we went the food quality had plummeted, along with the service. We just went without hibachi altogether for a long time until we found a great replacement in Murfreesboro. There are much better sushi options in Spring Hill if we are in that area. If this restaurant continues to make it in Spring Hill, the lack of competition is surely a leading reason! It's completely and deservedly fallen off our rotation. read more
